I like Halloween. It's fun.

Cool play. HOWEVER, it's not okay to scare kids into believing in God. It is important to know the alternative (Hell), but it shouldn't be the drive to accepting Christ.

2 Corinthians 11:13-15 (King James Version) 13For such are false apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ. 14And no marvel; for Satan himself is transformed into an angel of light. 15Therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-4 (King James Version) 3Let no man deceive you by any means: for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first, and that man of sin be revealed, the son of perdition; 4Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, shewing himself that he is God.

1 Peter 4:17-18 (King James Version) 17For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear?

The spirit of Halloween ( that's me) will devour your children you ignorant Christians.

Thing is, I'm concerned about how some Christians embrace exclusionary attitudes, walling themselves off from the rest of society.

If you truly have faith, then there should be nothing to be afraid of, Halloween and secularism shouldn't threaten you, because you are already saved, you don't have to worry. As Yeshua said: consider the lillies.

Really stupid and boring, couldn't even watch the whole thing.

I think it's cool the way religious fanatics hate and fear Halloween. It makes it that much more fun when silly people take it seriously-- and since they are completely unable to put a stop to it, there's no harm done.

@HPoelzig Says the man who enjoys the freedom to watch gay porn. Even straight atheists cannot stand you lot.

Where they charging tickets for kids to stand in a pvc pipe prison for 5 minutes? HAHAHA. Wouldn't the alternative to people not wanting to celebrate Halloween be... just not celebrating it? I know that there's the Easter Bunny at Easter, and Santa at Christmas, and in a way they are alternatives for people just celebrating it in the original way, but people that celebrate it that way usually don't despise it the way religious people do Halloween.... they just add something more "fun".
